Although it's controversial at the moment, the rules of Golf do not prohibit anchoring your putter against any part of your body.

Keegan Bradley was the first winner of a Major championship with a belly putter, and although a long putter (anchored in either the sternum or under the chin) has not yet won a Major, they have come close. Adam Scott finished tied second for the 2011 Masters with his sternum-anchored putter.

You ask about a conventional putter and anchoring that to a part of your body and you may be interested to look at Bernhard Langer who won the 1993 Masters anchoring and cured his yips by anchoring the top of the putter shaft onto his left arm with his right hand.

So, in summary, anchoring the putter to any part of your body is for the moment legal under the R & A and USGA rules.

How do you putt with a belly putter?

A belly putter is designed to be anchored into your belly button and then you can use any variation of a putting grip you want. The idea is that the putter pivots about your belly button, and you swing it without as much use as the arms as you would find with a normal putter.


How do you hold a belly putter?

A belly putter is designed to be anchored into your belly. You place the grip end agsinst your belly button and then simply grip the club however you want, keeping the putter pivoting around your belly button. one grip is the split grip, this is where (for a right hander) you have your left hand at the top, and right hand below it. Then there is left hand low, which is obviously left hand below your right. There is also the interlocking grip which is basically how you hold your irons. (well how the majority do)

What is wrong with belly dancing?

absolutely nothing :] although it is not for me --- I think the majority of the stigma against belly dancing, particularly in the United States, is the overt display of the human body. Belly dancers are usually wearing very little clothing as the art of the dance involves showing isolated muscle movements. Because of this lack of garb, Americans seem to automatically categorize belly dancing as lewd and sexual and, therefore, against true Christian morals.
